Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between cognitive functions and the brain's white matter structure using advanced imaging techniques, specifically Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DMRI).
- Researchers analyzed data from 125 healthy participants, correlating white matter integrity (measured via Quantitative Anisotropy) with scores on various cognitive tests assessing attention, executive function, episodic memory, and working memory.
- Significant correlations were found, indicating that the integrity of specific white matter tracts is closely linked to cognitive performance, which could aid in the early detection and intervention for cognitive disorders.
Background: Historically, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been considered the gold standard of bariatric surgery (BS). This procedure acts as a mixed restrictive and malabsorptive operation.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 410 morbidly obese patients (BMI > 40 kg/m or BMI > 35 kg/m along with at least one major comorbidity) who underwent primary laparoscopic RYGB surgery from 2009 to 2015 by a single surgery team.
